Genuine New Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA Print Head

Product Overview

The Genuine New Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA Print Head (Digital Print Part reference PPHFU13757) is an authentic, factory-original Performa™ Q-Class industrial piezoelectric drop-on-demand (DoD) printhead manufactured by Fujifilm Dimatix. Engineered for high-speed scanning architectures and demanding industrial print systems, this lightweight, thin-profile printhead delivers superior dot placement accuracy, minimal channel-to-channel crosstalk, and exceptional nozzle uniformity across a 64.77 mm (2.55 inches) print width.

The Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA features 256 independent ink channels arranged in a single nozzle row at 100 dots-per-inch (254 microns) spacing. Built with an inert, durable silicon nozzle plate and double-buffered driver chips, it supports rapid firing frequencies up to 50 kHz (16 kHz for maximum 30 picoliter drops) with a nominal drop velocity of 8 m/s. Powered by Fujifilm Dimatix’s proprietary VersaDrop™ jetting technology, the printhead dynamically generates an adjustable 10 pL to 30 pL drop volume in binary mode or a 10 pL fundamental drop in multi-drop grayscale mode. Equipped with precise mechanical registration points (accurate to within a few microns) and a dual-ported fluid interface, it enables close-nesting printhead arrays and supports continuous ink recirculation or fast flushing across UV-curable, organic solvent, and aqueous ink formulations.

Technical Specifications

Operational Advisory & Installation Guidelines

• Qualified Field Service Technician Required: Mounting, head slant calibration, waveform parameter loading, and fluidic line connection must strictly be performed by certified wide-format technicians.
• Power Isolation Safety: Completely power off the main printing unit and disconnect main board supply prior to attaching or disconnecting ribbon cables to avoid driver chip damage.
• Electrostatic ESD Protection: Always wear grounded anti-static wrist straps during handling to protect internal logic circuits and piezo elements from static discharge.
• Fluidic Priming & Maintenance: Thoroughly flush ink lines with approved cleaning fluid and replace inline filters before connecting the printhead to prevent immediate contamination.
• Electronic Part Non-Returnable Notice: Installed, unsealed, or ink-primed printheads cannot be returned or refunded due to chemical contamination risks and electronic safety regulations.
